I've been trying to catch up on threads after being gone a few days but haven't got far. I was going to this evening but got an email from the guardian attorney about doing a visit this week and I have barely went into the basement since w left so I had to start cleaning after I put the kids to bed tonight. I cleaned the downstairs bathroom w was using before she moved out. Unbelievable, just gross.
My end of last week/weekend was pretty good but I felt a whirlwind of emotions and ended can up crying a good while on our way home yesterday just because I had to hold it in over the weekend from time to time and can't believe what w has thrown awayand how it has affected the kids with little regard from her. The weekend was really hard at times but overall was good.
Weird, but Wednesday night my work car got egged (my car is in the garage). Strange because I drove down our street and didn't see any others. Idt w did it but it made me wonder if om was in town, etc. I wouldn't think this if I would've seen any others, but just me. Crazy that these thoughts even go through my mind now, lol.
I got the kids Thursday night, w texted earlier asking me when she could drop them off because they were excited because they knew I got them skates (they've been begging me for weeks). I left work early so they could come over and W stayed around for 2 hours, she looked terrible and acted depressed. She made a comment about "is there anything you don't have here?" To the kids. She was trying to tell them how to skate wrong and argued with me when I was trying to teach them (she can't skate, lol) . The next day they picked it up a lot better without her there.
It's terrible, but when I get them from her, it takes a day of so to get the kids I know back. This weekend was good for them, they got to be around their cousins close in age and seem like kids again!
I think she was feeling bad because the friday she asked for my b's address so she could send a gift . She texted at a bad time to talk to kids but I sent pics and she thanked me for them. She texted early in the morning Saturday (woke me up) and told me to tell them she loved them. I had s call later when he and I were driving and then she texted again when she knew we were at the reception. I sent more pics and she thanked me again and had brief texts. Then she texted to talk to them yesterday but they didn't talk much because they were worn out. We went to a private lake of family's yesterday so I sent pics of them playing with cousins, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. and apologized that they were so tired. Crickets until about midnight (much later) when she responded and woke me up. I really wonder what's going through her mind right now. Why would she respond 4 hours later?
And awhile back I mentioned trouble with baby talk. Well, it's really bad now, and d is starting too. Job, you mentioned w was probably encouraging it. I didn't think so at the time but I heard her doing it last week! I have been having to correct both kids since I've had them.
